[MrDERRISSONISRAEL]

FLY PELICAN, PELICAN FLYYYYYY!!!!!

[diveplane]

ass kickin keyboard playing as well

[MDS1958]

Was Gary playin' the Peter Green LP here? RIP brother.

[poseidon26ful]

@MDS1958 jes he was ;-) it was a gift from greeny green gave it 2 gary begous peter Quit fleedwood mac peter was moore,s guitar teacher back in the days;-)

[riffolaman]

I get annoyed with him being referred to as a blues player. His fault though. Really, he reinvented himself as such in about 1990 and it was his most successful period. I still prefer his insane overplaying. God, that tone and feel made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. Loved his voice too.

[TheBitterWeed]

@riffolaman

Totally in agreement. It was the scary shred-meister of the seventies and early 80s that I loved, because he always totally owned the *tune* underneath while he freaked out. He never really had the sensibilities of a true blues player, but was up there with the true, true greats of rock. I will miss him.

[road2ruins]

@TheBitterWeed " had the sensibilities of a true blues player" go check out live in 2010 and come back to me

[TheBitterWeed]

@road2ruins

How about you tell me why ?

[road2ruins]

@TheBitterWeed Just listen to him playing "Have You Heard" live at The Ranleagh 2010, it speaks for itself.

[TheBitterWeed]

@road2ruins Happy to mate. Don't get me wrong, I love the guy's playing, just consider him a rock-blues player.  Will check that out.

[TheBitterWeed]

@road2ruins

OK. Just listened to his version of Albert King's "As the Years go Passing By".

He was a proper blueser when he wanted to be. My bad.

Rgds

[MDS1958]

@riffolaman - I agree. I was blown away by his work with Colosseum ll as it was far more sophisticated than most stuff out at the time. To me. this was his best work.

[inferno0666]

@riffolaman Same here. Thankfullly he was referred to as a rock guitar legend and former member of Thin Lizzy in the media when he passed away.

[knightmidnight]

God Bless you Gary!!!!!! Gracias por tu legado Maestro, los que amamos tu musica te llevamos en el corazón.

[GoodGuitarSolos]

Fantastic performance! R.I.P. Gary Moore, fantastic guitarist and great voice.

[dsmusicuk]

We miss you already Gary! For me, this was him at his best as a jazz/rock master...along side Di meola, jeff Beck etc...masterful!!!

[wildthistle535]

I liked Thin Lizzy well enough but was never very charitable about Moore's calling himself a blues guitarist in his solo career; but oh, my freakin' word, this stuff is the shizznit. I just learned about this band this very day. Moore gave guys like Jeff Beck and Al DiMeola a run for their money in this band.

[mattnashty]

RIP GARY!! (is there a DVD of the entire concert?)

[mickyluvmail]

R.I.P. Gary Moore

[BrainStillLife]

Fuck Deep Purple, this is MUSIC!!

[GoodGuitarSolos]

@BrainStillLife You seriously needed to insult Deep Purple? This song rocks but so does Deep Purple.

[squizza28]

You simply can't better this. So Don, Jon and Gary if you're looking then how about an encore? You've still got real fans out there!!

[Chriskkboongg]

No MIDI BS. No sequencer. This is a truly awe-inspiring performance.

[Trillia750]

Wow Don has some chops! He must have loved playing here, most 'metal' bands didn't let him stretch out much.

[Adamboms]

these guys tear shit up, I can't believe Moore would leave a band this good to rejoin something like Thin Lizzy...

[Kakkapieru]

don airey look like a member of monty python. and he kick ass

[lilianis07]

Fantastic !!!!!!!

[yaueue]

great performance on stage!

[ian8305]

OMFG.. where did you get this , this is gold dust!!!!! Do you have the rest of the performance????..One other question.... Is this off of the , or copy of, the master VT.. coz I know that if you had this off the TV it would have ended at the fade to black?

[ian8305]

[rockcup]

Good stuff for DVD.

[egiltroa]

Vanskelig sak......

[marshallman83]

Don Airy is ripping those keyboards a new one!

[rockerbiff]

wow - listened to these guys for 35 years never saw one video til now

[namfoodler]

Great quality thanks!

[MothershipOracle]

id have to say-my favourite jazz-rock band-i used to play their lp"s inside out!! and make sure all the lounge windows were open so all could hear!

[omegaspeed1979]

Met John Mole once years ago at a gig in Bishop's Stortford, Really nice bloke, had a chat and he signed my colosseum II LP's. R.I.P John.

[JeffKnight]

Awesome!!!!

[0xym0r0nized]

Jon Hiseman, father of all progressive rock drumming!

[porcupineplant]

Gary playing Peter Green's les paul

[xxxChrist]

One of my fave 70's bands. I saw this on telly. Electric Savage and Wardance were great albums, loads of energy, inventive, listenable and singable too. Not a sequencer in sight for Don, brilliant playing.

[886071]

Thanx for posting this. A gem with true musicians....

[squizza28]

Four very talented musicians giving it their all ! A very under-rated band, and it's a great shame they went unnoticed at a time when punk dominated the scene. The two albums Wardance and Electric Savage sound fantastic even now. Love it!

[route37c]

beautiful!  scorching, indeed!

[Tarabos1]

Gary Moore Gary Moore Gary Moore.....far better than in his later "world wide famous" - years..Certainly one of the best Rock-guitarists!

[jazzmies]

This bassist must be the one and only Derek Smalls?

[DELRELES]

Bass player is John Mole(R.I.P.).He recorded,as well,the song on the studio album"Electric Savage".

Have a great day.

DELRELES

[cajoudrey]

Don Airey is THE GREATEST!!!!!!!!

[Goatlord1970]

Awesome!

[Lachlanau]

anyone got a vid of War Dance?

[Efrasnel]

Great stuff. No wonder Airey is in Deep Purple now.

[twtrebla]

how young was Don Airey!

[prinzbauer]

My god, this is phantastic. Thanks for posting this. You made my day!

[chiznetos12002]

One of my favorite songs from this line up. Great vid. =D

[RimShot1310]

Thanx 4 the great vid!!

[binnyman]

Thanks for this great post !!!!!!!! Awesome cut from 'Electris Savage'. Love Airey's solo ! GM too !!! Look for the 2 of them together in Gary's band (any "Still Got the Blues" vids, for instance). Thanks again ! Peace:-)

[aliahrocks]

Madddaaaaaaaaiii!

Ero quasi convinto di essere l'unico a ricordarsi di questo grandissimo gruppo. Da ragazzo suonavo questo brano con il mio gruppo, brividi!

[jreichbart]

Great technique aside, I always loved Gary Moore for his soulfulness, you can really see that he puts his heart into every note. I still have the original 3 vinyl LPs from this group and as soon as they were available I got them on CD and they are still on my mp3 player... Two other great bands of the same era I'd recommend, if you're not familiar with them already, are Camel from England and Focus from Holland (Although slightly more prog-rock than jazz-rock... Great stuff either way).

[GARYMOORElover]

OMG I NEED MOORE Love this vid soooo much thankyouuuuuuuuu. xxxxxxxxx

[programatrilhadorock]

COOL VIDEO COLOSSEUM II RARE

[Rockertje1975]

hopefully there will be a groups who stops with playing or demolish the smoke-installation!!! Stupid people who love smoke on the floor!

[Rockertje1975]

good number but the ugly smoke on the floor makes the clip badder! Why do make people it, does it make the music better? NO, so why doing it?

[vanbliepenstein]

this great bands of passed times throws the modern lully guitar mess like foo figthers etc in every corner that you can find.. a pity that you never hear this kind of music now this time

[knightmidnight]

Don Airey and Gary Moore are masters of the music and great source of inspiration for many musicians. Don Airey y Gary Moore son maestros de la música y una gran fuente de inspiración para muchos músicos.

[alanbradley69]

Remember watching this on BBC Sight & Sound. The vision was on TV & you could tune to FM stereo radio for the sound through your hi-fi. It was a great experiment at the time. Well before nicam stereo tv.

[Qurats]
